Nice meeting you

Best video ever

[@BerfinMahmut]

Thank you!

Hello, does the cording disappear after the discomfort goes away? I still see some lines and bulges under the arm. Thank you.

[@BerfinMahmut]

Hello, thank you for your question! Often times cording still can be present even if the pain/discomfort goes away. We typically do not worry about the “lines” as long as patients can function and do all their daily activities without pain/discomfort. I hope this helps!

[@maddie-ld9cn]

Can you get lymphedema from the cording? I developed both without any surgery or pre existing conditions.

[@maddie-ld9cn]

Anybody out there get spontaneous cording WITH lymphedema?

[@santialur]

what kind of doctor should I see for Axillary web syndrome or Cording?

[@BerfinMahmut]

You can see the doctor who is treating you for the condition that caused the cording or your primary care doctor. They can refer you to a physical or occupational therapist. When looking for a physical or occupational therapist it is important to ask if they have experience treating cording.

[@santialur]

@@BerfinMahmut I have not seen any doctor yet, it just appeared for no reason that I am aware of. Should I talk to an endocrinologist?

[@Fakken28]

​@@santialurI am a male and mine appeared after a heavy lifting session (bench press and pull ups). Overexcertion if you will. Has your chording gone away?

[@santialur]

@@Fakken28 yes, but it took around 2 weeks, and help of massages and PT exercises

[@Fakken28]

@@santialur Did your cords completely go away too or just the pain? any specific massages you did and PT or did you just follow this video? Thank you for replying and I'm glad you are doing better brother. 🙏. Mine started to weeks ago and getting better little by little.

Physical Therapists are not the only ones who can help patients with cording. What is most important is the training and certification the professional has in this procedure. Patients must look for someone with these letters after their name: CMLDT or CLT or MLD-C. The professional will be a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist or Certified Lymphedema Therapist. They will be a nurse, massage therapist, PT, or OT.
